The war between the Shangjin Kingdom and the Allied Forces has lasted for nearly a month. During this period, the Allied Forces have been at a disadvantage and have been continuously defeated.
The army of Shangjin Kingdom won a series of victories on the front line, and good news came in like snowflakes.
However, today, the situation suddenly changed. A handwritten letter from Queen Jiang Zhixu was delivered to Jin Linlin at an expedited speed of 800 miles.
The content of the letter shocked her - a mysterious masked man appeared on the battlefield, holding Jin Nianchu and Jiang Jingxing hostage, posing a huge threat to Shangjin Kingdom's army.
The fighting between the two sides had to be suspended because of this. The army of Shangjin Kingdom also tried to rescue Jin Nianchu and Jiang Jingxing many times, but all ended in failure.
Now, everyone is at a loss as to how to deal with this emergency.
The capture of the Crown Princess undoubtedly had a significant impact on the morale of the Shangjin army. To stabilize the army, Jiang Zhixu decided to report the incident to the Empress.
After reading the letter, Jin Linlin was completely stunned. She couldn't believe her eyes. Shouldn't her daughter, Jin Nianchu, be studying peacefully at the Imperial College? How could she suddenly appear on the battlefield and be held hostage?
Jin Linlin stood up suddenly and shouted outside hurriedly: "Someone come! Go and get Mo Yi!"
Chunxue heard the Queen's slightly anxious cry and did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately turned around to look for Mo Yi.
Mo Yi to Mo Jiu were His Majesty's personal guards, taking turns on duty to ensure His Majesty's safety. At this moment, Mo Yi should be resting, gathering his strength for the night shift.
Not long after, all the secret guards—Chunxue and Qiuyu—hurriedly arrived in front of Jin Linlin. Jin Linlin's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. She roared in anger:
"The princess has been taken to the battlefield! Mo Yi, go and find out what's going on immediately! Also, what exactly happened in the Imperial Academy? Where are the princess's secret guards?"
When everyone heard this shocking news, they collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning, muttering to themselves in disbelief, "How could this be? The princess... will she still be able to come back alive?"
Mo Yi did not dare to delay even a little. He was extremely anxious and rushed away like a flying bird, heading straight for the Imperial College. When he arrived at the Imperial College, he met the teacher there.
The teacher told him that the princess and Prince Jing had asked for leave and left half a month ago on the pretext that the emperor had summoned them.
Mo Yi's heart sank as he felt the situation was becoming increasingly confusing. So, he immediately set out to investigate the whereabouts of the princess's secret guards.
After a long search, he finally found the bodies of the secret guards in a secluded corner of the Imperial College. These secret guards had obviously been assassinated and died in a miserable way.
Mo Yi didn't dare delay and immediately reported the situation to Jin Linlin. After hearing this, Jin Linlin's heart was filled with anger and worry, surging like a raging storm. She knew this was no accident; there must be a dark hand behind all this.
At the same time, the court was in turmoil, with ministers discussing the situation and the people in panic. The once solid morale of the army began to waver.
Jin Linlin suppressed her anger, made a prompt decision, and immediately summoned her trusted ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Some suggested sending more elite troops to rescue them, while others worried that it would anger the masked man and cause him to harm the hostages. Just as everyone was arguing, news came that the masked man had proposed a condition: the Shangjin Kingdom ceded nine cities in exchange for the safety of the princess and Prince Jing.
Jin Linlin's face turned pale instantly. She would never agree to cede land, but she couldn't just sit back and watch for her daughter's life.
She clenched her fists, her eyes revealing determination. She decided to send someone to stabilize the masked man first, and then secretly plan a rescue. She must not allow the dignity and territory of Shangjin Kingdom to be violated in the slightest.
She was extremely anxious. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. If she was not careful, her daughter and Dabao would become victims. She had to go there in person.
He immediately summoned his trusted ministers, explained the affairs of the court to them, and set out overnight with his secret guards, heading straight for the border.
A few days later, Jiang Zhixu and his generals were busy and exhausted when they suddenly saw a figure rushing in. They looked closely and found it was the Empress!
Everyone seemed to have found their backbone, kneeling and bowing in reverence. The scene was truly spectacular. However, when they saw Jiang Zhixu staring blankly at His Majesty, they tactfully exchanged glances, then quietly withdrew from the tent, leaving the couple alone.
After all, everyone heard that His Majesty and the Queen were sent to this battlefield less than a month after their wedding, so they must have a lot to say.
Jin Linlin and Jiang Zhixu were the only two people left in the tent. The moment their eyes met, they both fell silent, as if they had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin.
In the end, it was Jiang Zhixu who came to his senses first. He quickly stepped forward, hugged Jin Linlin tightly in his arms, and said in a muffled voice:
"Why are you here? Have you arranged everything in the court?"
Jin Linlin also hugged him back and replied softly:
"How could I possibly sit still when my daughter is dealing with something so serious? Zhixu, quickly tell me what the current situation is like?"
Jiang Zhixu finally let go of his hand, collected himself, and reported the current situation to Jin Linlin in detail. After listening, Jin Linlin frowned tightly. After a moment of silence, she calmly analyzed:
"That masked man is so arrogant and domineering. I think there must be a powerful force behind him. We must not easily agree to cede territory in exchange for peace, otherwise it will surely leave endless troubles."
